Introduce the project:
I worked on Rails Girls Summer of Code site, which is a program that awards scholarships to woman to work on open source projects. The website is built on Jekyll, a static blogging gem that can be served on github pages.
What was it like jumping into that codebase?
Per usual, jumping into the code base was a little frustrating. Having never used Jekyll the structure was a bit weird, and then tracking down where the issues we're pointing at took some digging around. Over all, though, this was a fairly straight forward setup. Download, bundle, and run Jekyll server.
